Btw, I don't know if anyone else has seen this.. but once again the Friars of suburban Boston are claiming we paid to get a player, this time it's Sanchez.
Because that's what we do when we're trying to sign a nice JUCO player, who doesn't project to start for either of his two years here ... throw thousands of dollars at him.

Second time in 2 months they've said that about us. And another clown on their message board has a vitamin water-bottle as his icon.
I'm beginning to think they don't want to be friends..
Cause our fan base never says that about other schools who get one of our recruits
To be fair though, most of the teams I see accused on this board of wrongdoing have a track record of NCAA rule breaking, Baylor for example.
I think that's pretty accurate. We might make pretty weak arguments that Gathers was paid, when we don't really know. But it's usually Baylor or Calipari that I hear getting ripped on here. But let's be honest, there's reasons to suspect those programs are dealing under the table.
Would our board have claimed $$ if Kyle Anderson went to Seton Hall? Doubtful. Do any of us question Ledo or Dunn going to PC? Nope.
I think it's a little different when it's a small catholic school that's been in the same conference as you for 30 years. A lot different than say Calipari, Drew, UNLV, etc.
